I  use sellers agent for this property. i believe in this strategy - going with the sellers agent, in LA hot market this is an  advantage non cash buyer can get when there are multiple offers.

Look for recent sales near your subject property (less than 90 days, within 30 are great), same bed and bath count, and close in square footage.

As you could probably tell from my opening line, I am 100% new to real estate investing and just recently started doing research on the subject.

For all 1- to 4-unit investment property transactions, cash reserves equal to six (6) months PITI for the subject property are required.

Subject describes it all.What is the value or purpose of someone holding onto a "road" that has occupied properties (in this case all 15 SFR).The road is owned by persons from an original owner since passed on.

Google your subject line.

In Florida I would get licensedLearn creative financing as in subject to, lease options, wraparound mortgages, installment sales on free and clear housesNo banks no creditLearn how to ask good questions with sellers@Debra Mittleman

Am sure you will enjoy both.I live in Hot Springs and in addition to buy and hold SFR I do loans.

This often may be an intensely heated subject.

There is a few steps involved and there are literally books written on these subjects so I am not going to even attempt to tell you what all needs to be done.
